Hi Peter


I've setup DNS seeds myself a week ago, at testnet-seed.alexykot.me and bitcoin-seed.alexykot.me, but there is a problem with DNS settings that we with Andreas couldn't sort out quickly.
The problem itself is that I can reach my nameserver and get dnsseed response if I query it directly with
dig @node.alexykot.me testnet-seed.alexykot.me
dig @node.alexykot.me bitcoin-seed.alexykot.me

​But when I try nslookup testnet-seed.alexykot.me​ - it fails. 
I guess the problem is in my DNS settings but I can't figure out what is it.

​S
o could you share
​how you configured 
DNS
​ for your seed
to help me debug
​mine
?
 



Best regards, 
Alex Kotenko

I meant running a seed yourself. Note that I've only received funds to cover expenses and a trivial amount on top to cover some time - about one and a half hours at my usual rates.

Gavin: Speaking of, given it looks like my work will be frequently keeping me out of country and unable to provide any more than a "best effort" attempt at running a seed, I'd like to give back the grant funds for doing so. Email me privately with an address to send them too. I have no plans to take it down, however the expectations users have for it aren't something I can provide.

I checked via the same proxy both times; I believe the endpoint is located in Europe.
